Area forecast discussion, May 8, 3:34 PM CDT, 2 hours 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service SAN ANGELO TX 334 PM CDT SUN MAY 8 2016 .SHORT TERM... (Tonight and Monday) Dryline storms rapidly developing this afternoon across the eastern Permian Basin and western Concho Valley. TTU WRF and the latest HRRR showed this nicely, and indicate that the storms should continue to increase in coverage through the evening hours, with perhaps another round developing after 06Z as the cold front plows into the area. Storms should shift east out of the area after sunrise Monday as drier air works it way in from the west. .LONG TERM... (Monday Night through Sunday) Upper level shortwave trough exits to the east and leaves dry conditions for Monday Night. However, could see a few storms develop across the far southeast counties on Tuesday and Tuesday Night as the low level moisture returns just ahead of anotherweak shortwave. Better coverage of storms possible Wednesday and Thursday as a cold front moves into the area. Upper level ridge tries to build into the Southern Rockies for the weekend, producing northwest flow across the Southern Plains. Combine this with a dryline from the Panhandle to the Permian Basin and this sets the stage for more convection possible for next Saturday and Sunday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
